Not sure how to do a poll on this forum. If anyone can and wants to then do it by all means.
The question is in the name of the thread. A simple yes, no or not sure would work.
Me I trust them not one bit. I am not alone on this either it seems.

Re: Do you trust the Mainstream Media?
Not really. I try to keep my news sources as varied as possible in order to see stories from various angles. Every media outlet has its own agenda, and for its own reasons.

Don't trust anyone...
It rather depends on what's being reported, where and how long ago it happened.

In terms of sports scores and X factor results, yes. Anything that actually could make a difference, no.

Re: Do you trust the Mainstream Media?
Yeah , where IS Hillman ?
I'd have thought he'd have been on here supporting the average speed cameras in the other thread too .
Actually, it's a serious and significant fact that most people no longer trust the media to tell them the truth or be unbiased. It's not a bad thing though, because it's a measure of how many people are waking up and that means that the time of the globalists and their media echo chamber is growing short.
I do hope Hillmans okay. Maybe he's got a box set of old Michael Foot speeches and he can't help watching the next one or something.

You can't go wrong with the Daily Mail for a balanced view. Polly Toynbee is the Spawn of Satan.

I mean, nothing wrong with random outbursts. I often do them myself, but can't you make them a bit longer so we can have a bit of a read ?

Re: Do you trust the Mainstream Media?
I don't trust the media - I prefer to go by made up bollocks I read on the internet.
Facts? Who needs them?
Proper journalists who can hold people to account? What's the point?
2016, eh, it's faaaaaaaaantastic.

Re: Do you trust the Mainstream Media?
That's true. That's why it's generally less rewarding, secure and attractive to be a reporter these days, that and reporters being targeted for trying to expose war atrocities, government wrongdoing and corruption. Far easier to sit on the internet mocking others who read the papers then being a Politkovskya who had bottle.Lou Grant wrote:I don't trust the media - I prefer to go by made up bollocks I read on the internet.

Why should I watch a dysfunctional prick on YouTube who lives on the fringes of society to get my news as opposed to a trained journalist who has the capability and experience of reporting? Can anyone explain this to me and why I should COMPLETELY ignore mainstream news in favour of uncorroborated, dubious tittle tattle?
Please don't hoover up all the bollocks for yourself. Leave some for others.

Don't think it's all black and white. I'm sure there are aspects to what's reported in the media that you do trust.kooster wrote:Having worked in the Media, its a NO from me.
